Vegetarian Chili sounded a little unreal when I first came across this recipe and it was a couple of years before I actually tried it. The result was that I liked it and have made it many times since. I like most things that contain chili and usually include vegetarian dishes when I'm trying to lose weight. This recipe seemed and an ideal compromise. Now I don't hesitate in suggesting that you try it, too.

Turkey Burger with Onions, no way! But being an experimental type, I just had to try it for myself.
My main fears concerned turkey meat drying out during cooking.
Cream was the obvious answer, because it is used regularly in making sauces. You need to add such a small amount of cream, it is unlikely that it will cause a major negative by adding fat to the lean, low-fat, turkey meat. In short, it will be less fattening than traditional ground beef.
Ingredients
1 large Spanish (red) onion
1 pound (450 grams) lean ground (minced) turkey
4 green onions (spring onions), finely … [Read more...]
